Letter: Interfaith service a success

A big thank you to Martin Edelson and the Jewish congregation for the wonderful Martin Luther King, Jr. Interfaith Service on Sunday afternoon.

Where else in Ames, (or perhaps Iowa) could one hear such dynamic speakers joined together to celebrate his message of love and peace?

These presenters represented all of the religious faiths in Ames - Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Baha’i, Hindu and Buddhist. Instead of holding a number of separate services in various churches next year, I would like to encourage members of all of the other parishes to join together next year in January to make it one big celebration.
